The Egg Whisperer Show

I encourage all of my patients to find what I refer to as a “cabana boy.” I like the idea of someone fanning them with a big palm leaf, and taking care of their every need while they relax and take it easy during fertility treatment.  Since it can be hard to find a good cabana boy these days, I am always on the lookout for ways to make things easier for my patients. Still, eating right is super important during fertility treatment, AND meal prep and planning can be one more thing to add to your “plate” during an already busy time. When I found out about Methodology, I knew I had to have CEO Julie Nguyen on The Egg Whisperer Show. I know you’ll be inspired by Julie’s story of how she started Methodology as a way to eat better, and eat healthier, while still having quick and easy options for a busy life. In this episode you will learn about how gut health impacts your overall health, easy ways to eat a cleaner diet, and how some of those ailments (eczema, asthma, and sometimes sleep issues) you have might be the result of what you’re eating.. Our current culture provides so many opportunities to pick up fast and processed foods, and while that seems like a faster option, it’s not always your best option. I hope you’ll join Julie and I as we talk about ways to fix this, especially during a time when you are looking for ways to eat healthier and have easy food prep options. Julie Nguyen is the Founder & CEO of Methodology, a company that makes high-quality, fully cooked meals for busy professionals. Julie holds a BA in Economics from Stanford, and started Methodology after discovering that her own diet was negatively impacting her health and causing eczema, asthma, and poor sleep. Six years, Two nutritionists, 3 personal trainers, and an enormous excel sheet later, Julie had unlocked the keys to tracking her own eating habits and that was the start of Methodology.

Today on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast I’m excited to have Jon Waldman as my guest. He is a Winnipeg-based writer talking to us about his recent book, Swimming Aimlessly: One Man's Journey through Infertility and What We Can All Learn from It. In 2009, Jon and his wife embarked on a six-year journey through infertility, which concluded in 2015 with the birth of their daughter. Jon is joining me to talk about his journey, and how infertility impacts men. I’m deeply grateful that he is sharing his story with the world, because we don’t always hear about the impact that infertility has on men from an emotional and psychological standpoint. Infertility is so difficult for everyone involved, and Jon shares his story with authenticity, humor, and love.

Does sperm really matter? If you tuned into the conversation with Dr. Paul Turek and I earlier this week, you'll know that of course it matters!   It truly does take both sperm and an egg to make a baby. Today I'll review the sperm question a bit, and explain why it matters. AND, I'll give you a lot more info about how to improve sperm quality.   Here's the thing: I know that guys want to hear what they want to hear. They have selective listening. I'm not kidding when I tell you that I had someone email me recently and say "My husband's sperm tested out GREAT, and when we went over the results with the doctor we heard two different things. He thinks he heard our doctor say that it means he can just keep drinking, smoking, and enjoying marijuana and doesn't need to make any lifestyle changes. I heard something very different, which was that he should still cut back until we are pregnant. Can you help settle this for us?"   And while it's an unpopular answer (at least with the guys), my response is: Men should cut back or abstain from drinking, and smoking (marijuana too) if you're TTC.   Here are a few of the things I suggest to anyone bringing the sperm side of the equation to the baby making situation: - consider freezing your own sperm for future use when you are young. - get in the best shape of your life if you're trying to conceive. Sperm matters, and men's health is directly related to their sperm quality. - take some prenatal vitamins. Yes, really. Many of the same supplements that I recommend for egg quality also are great for sperm quality. - cut back on smoking, drinking, and drug use. Marijuana negatively impacts sperm. - don't cook your balls: avoid hot tubs, using your laptop on your lap, and other situations that may create high temps for the area. - find ways to cut back on stress, if you live a stressful life. Mindfulness and meditation are great for everyone. Read the full transcript and article about this at my website. Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Imagine an insemination kit with a syringe specifically designed for the female body that you can use with your partner or sperm donor in the comfort of your own home. I'm delighted to have Maureen Brown, co-founder of Mosie Baby joining me on the this week to talk about the home insemination kit that she and her husband designed after being faced with infertility.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ As you know, I really love innovative products and ideas that help people reach their goals. Anything that helps demystify fertility and helps women get pregnant is a win in my book. What I love about the Mosie Baby story is that Maureen and her husband decided to create a product that they could not find and wished existed during their fertility journey. We talk about how the kit was invented, her own experience using it, how it works, and about some of her favorite success stories.

As a fertility doctor, I help my patients create the family they want, or preserve their fertility for whatever the future may hold. Part of why I love what I do is that I get to understand the whole person that I treat. Not just their body, but their emotional well-being too. We can’t look at humans with tunnel vision. Nor can we look at fertility that way either. The act of going through fertility treatment is as emotional as it is physical. Today on the podcast, I’m sharing the ten things to STOP doing if you’re a fertility patient.

Wendy Strgar of Good Clean Love is back on the show today, and we are talking about how you can reconnect with sexual joy, and love when you are trying to conceive. So often, fertility patients feel overwhelmed, and their sex lives with their partner takes a hit. That can lead to feeling more isolated, alone, and without connection to the person you are growing your family with.⁠ ⁠ Wendy struggled to conceive for four years, and she understands what that can do to one's sex life. She has so many ideas to share with us about how to improve things: using good lube, enjoying the pleasure of being with your partner, and taking time to talk about what's going on instead of allowing things to get into a blaming stage.⁠ ⁠ I love having Wendy on the show, and I know you're going to love this conversation. ⁠ Tune in to this episode on Dr. Aimee's website.  You can learn more about Good Clean Love at their website.

I loved joining Maria on the Fitness Fertility Podcast, so much so that I asked if I could replay our conversation on my own podcast this week.   This interview is all about optimizing egg health, and in it you'll learn about the supplements I recommend and the new treatments (red light therapy and Ovarian PRP) that I have seen work well for patients. We also cover some of the basics of good health that I know support your fertility journey as a fertility patient.   Some of these basics include: - sleeping 7 to 9 hours a night - hydrating with water - moving your body - having healthy relationships - decreasing your stress - practicing mindfulness  - acupuncture   There's so much more that we cover, including why it's important to have a therapist during fertility treatment and why we need to stop using the word "failed" in describing outcomes.    Listen on Dr. Aimee's website.   Find The Fitness Fertility Podcast here.   Would you like to learn about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

In today’s Egg Whisperer Show Podcast, I’m so excited to be joined by Dr. Paula Amato. She is a fertility specialist who froze embryos in her 30s using sperm from an anonymous donor. Later, Dr. Amato decided to donate her embryos. She shared about this journey and what she learned as a fertility doctor in a recent article published in Fertility and Sterility titled: "The fertile window: what donating my embryos taught me about being a fertility doctor." We’re going to talk all about her decision to donate her embryos, what looking into the genetics of those embryos taught her, and what she learned from the process. It’s an amazing story, and it’s interesting to hear a fertility specialist talk about her experience as both a doctor, and a patient. Dr. Paula Amato is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, at the Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine in Portland, Oregon. She also is a Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility Specialist and has over 33 years of experience in the medical field. She graduated from University of Toronto medical school, and did her fellowship at UC San Diego. Thank you for joining me, Paula!
